Moon Chae-won eyes rom-com movie next

55 February 13, 2014February 13, 2014

by javabeans

Moon Chae-won has not done a lot of rom-coms in her career, instead finding success with more dramatic projects, many of which I really enjoyed like the thrilling romance sageuk The Princess’s Man, the heart-pounding action sageuk Bow: The Ultimate Weapon, and romance melodrama Nice Guy. Be that as it may, I’m really happy to hear that for her next role, she’s eyeing a rom-com. She’s already proven she can hold her own acting in dramatic roles, so it’ll be nice to see her get to do something lighter and funnier for a change.

The project is a movie called Three Men’s Woman (er, Woman with Three Men? Or Three Men and Her? There’s Something About Moon Chae-won?), and the story centers around three friends who all fall for the same woman… which I suppose is the cornerstone of many an angsty drama plot with lots of longing and unrequited love to go around. But this film promises to be comedic and fun, so I expect we’ll be getting the less melodramatic version. One hopes.

The movie comes from director Park Jin-pyo, whose previous movies include 2013’s thriller Accomplice, 2005’s romance You’re My Sunshine, and 2009’s human drama Closer to Heaven. It is currently in screenplay revisions, and Moon’s reps have stated that she’ll make her final decision afterward. The production will be casting soon and aims to begin filming in the latter half of the year.

Well, I love her, so I can see how three guys could fall for her too. Sound like it could be cute.

Now, about this new format? Not so sure. I'm sure I'll get used to it, but it seems so strange. Changing Dramabeans. Guess, I'll try to roll with it.

I think they may be referring to the fact that sometimes when users (well, me anyway...) go to the site, it comes up as the mobile version. I have to scroll to the bottom and change it back to desktop which doesn't always work immediately. On the upside, I haven't personally been getting a lot of the Database loading errors anymore so maybe it is the result of some fix you did?

Sometimes the mobile version will load even when you're on a laptop because the site detects a slow connection, so it will redirect you to the mobile version because it needs a slower Internet connection to load.

Lately the mobile format shows up even on my laptop so I am assuming that is what Rachell is talking about! It's funky but hey it works! For a few weeks every time I clicked on a link I would have to reload the page in order to get them to work it would say "page not available" so this is much better!

If I may jump in here ....

While I don't have the mobile thing appearing on my desktop, I've been experiencing the following problems for the last 4 days or so:
- My comments under the e-mail I've always used no longer appear (or they are not accepted, I don't know).

- My comments only appear if I use another e-mail address.

- According to my computer, e-mail attempts to Dramabeans are not successful (the little icon just keeps swirling for up to an hour). I made 2 attempts and nothing.

I hope everything's ok.

Cha Seung Won. Since I want to see him act again in a Hong Sisters' drama. Is it possible to asks for an older man- younger woman type of romance drama. They have a 16 year age gap anyway.

Awww three men! All of them are friends..

But

I'm expecting this...

Guy one, older than her. Maybe a divorcee with ex-wife issues or plain old bachelor - Jung Woong In.

Guy two, around her age. Handsome with successful career but have issue with commitment - Yoo Yeon Seok.

Guy three, wayyyy younger than her.. Well Kdrama/movie can escape Noona-Dongseng Pair. - Any idol actor who can act!

Love her, never expect that she can be funny too.. Esp in Good Doctor, her drunken scenes was funny.

Extending your expected case...I really wish that the older guy should be Lee Beom So....
The around her age guy should be Lee Min Ho or Jang KeunSuk..
The guy younger than her age should definitely be some guy from any famous korean band ...for instance Suho from EXO.....

Oh, it sounds interesting.

Guy one - I want Lee Jung-jae. Just saw The Face Reader the other day and he is captivating. They can sizzle the screen together.

Guy two - YYS!

Guy three - I think Im Shi-wan will be adorableeee.

Eee can't wait for the casting!

I think Chae Won would be great in rom-com. In Good Doctor, her few comedic scenes were hilarious. I still can't believe she ad-libbed the karoke scene. She went all out in that scene. And in Take Care of a Young Lady, her and JIW were so adorable and hilarious. Omg, can he be the lead?

Three guys???? She gets three guys who all fall for her??? This girl must have saved a nation in her past life because she has worked with Lee Min Ho, Jung Il Woo, Choi Jin Hyuk, Lee Seung Gi, Yoo Ah In, Park Shi Hoo, Song Joong Ki, and Joo Won and now she gets three guys who love her? Can I be her lol? Can't wait until they cast her potential guys. I vote for YYS too. I think they will look great together. Oh and Kim Jae Wook, please somebody cast that smexy hottie as a lead.

Moon Chae Won is the definition of gorgeous and talented.
She has those really captivating eyes that helps her emote and draw you in. There's this really elegant, fierce aura about her. Odd combo but she's one of the few that can pull that off.
I was hoping to see her in a 16/20 episode format but a movie is fine too as long as I get to see her in a rom-com. I think it's time she acts in something with lighter fare considering the only drama rom-coms she's been apart of were Mackerel Run(with lee min ho. they were cute!) and Take Care of the Young Lady.

This sounds kinda like that movie with monica potter and the three friends who fall in love with her. It's from the 90's. The three friends and british and one of them was the main dude in shakespeare in love. I can't for the life of me remember the name of the movie but I remember it was kinda like three totally different type guys meet same girl at different times and fall for her for all different reasons. In the end, the one dude who was really really truly in love with her got her (like is should be). I don't remember it being super laugh-out-loud comedy. There were lots of misunderstandings and fun little twists, thoroughly predictable and definitely rom-com status. If anyone can think of the name, let me know... i'm curious now.

thanks. =)

@Javabeans,

Accomplice? I think it's a mistake. Director Park Jin Pyo didn't direct that movie. His last movie prior to this, Woman with 3 Men was "Closer to Heaven"

But producer isn't the same as director though.

JB did not directly said that Park Jin Pyo directed Accomplice. Hollywood does the same thing, mentioning the previous works of an individual even if s/he is credited as producer and not as the director,writer or actor.
I'm a bit suspicious regarding the news. An actor who have read the script can either accept or decline the role. Based on articles that I've read, it seems to me that MCW and her agency have read the script. I feel that this seems to be a media play. I know that scripts can be revise multiple times that is why we have the so called drafts. An actor who have accepted the role has the option to asks for script revision.

Post got cut (sorry, I'm typing on my phone).
If they are revising the script, the likely scenario is that MCW have already accepted the role but there are certain scenes/ part of the script that she doesn't like that is why they are making some revisions.

lalapadai

February 14, 2014 at 2:23 AM

Got it :)

Yes. I think she's somehow has agreed to film for this.. especially that the news came directly from her agency. They didn't do that with her previous works, the last 3 dramas and let the network did the announcement. So, I think yes, she's more or less is in.

anoe

February 14, 2014 at 3:14 AM

I have the feeling that MCW already accepts the role too. Because news come directly from her agency which have never done it. They usually very quiet. But I never think that she will ask for a revision. Anyway, the director must agree on revising the screenplay too. They are likely have been in talk and think that revising is a good idea so Hopefully the revision is better than the old one.

Well, the fun part begin. Who will be her 3 men?

I can say that moon chae is one of the best korean actress i've seen.. it's good to hear that she's eyeing another movie, hopefully a drama also. I love seeing her in my tv screen.. for the leading men, i hope she will be paired with not just good looking men but talented as well, who can match up with chae won"s talent...

Hope she gets tons of funny scenes because she was hilarious in GD.
